The Holy Spirit

Ryan Lowery

Praying as a Servant

Gary DeLashmutt

Luke 11:5-13

When Jesus instructs his disciples on how to pray, he stresses 3 important attitudes: a willingness to serve, a sense of helplessness, and a boldness. With these attitudes in mind, we can come before God each day, presenting ourselves, and know that He will allow us a lifestyle that will fill us with joy and purpose.

Ben Foust

Acts 3:1-4:31

As the early church continues, they begin to face challenges from local authorities. In spite of setbacks, the early church leaders act courageously and speak boldly for Christ, confident in His power as they go forth in His name. In the same way, Christians today can have the confidence to boldly proclaim the gospel, knowing that the power of God is at work through us.

The Bread of Life

Ryan Lowery

John 6:1-68

The spiritual reality is most important. Humans want physical safety, comfort, and autonomy. God wants for us to have eternal security, meaning, and community. Some of those who had witnessed Jesus' miracles wrongly assumed that he was performing these signs for entertainment and to meet their desires. Jesus wanted them to see that there is something they need that is far more powerful than the physical: a relationship with God Himself. True followers of Christ should not have conditions on their obedience and commitment to Jesus but are called to trust him fully. God will provide what we need to obey, as we step out to serve Him.
